History Cambridge, formerly known as the Cambridge Historical Society, was founded in 1905 and has since become the most relevant and responsive historical voice in Cambridge. As a brand, History Cambridge goes beyond just listing events that happened in the past. They delve deeper into uncovering the knowledge that every person in the city holds a piece of.

By weaving this knowledge together, they explore how the past influences the present and work towards shaping a more just future. They offer various products and services to engage the community, such as conducting research on individuals and buildings, offering archive resources, organizing events, and providing self-guided tours. The Hooper-Lee-Nichols House, built in 1685, serves as a venue for events and filming.

Visitors can explore their collections and archives, which highlight how people lived, worked, and played in Cambridge throughout history. With a dedicated and passionate staff, including an executive director, communications manager, and program manager, History Cambridge is committed to sharing valuable information and fostering a sense of community engagement
